My mom is manipulative, physically and emotionally abusive. I think she is in denial of having a mental illness. Growing up, my step Dad was abusive to her and me and my sister. As soon as she found out he hit us, she left him. I was 11 at the time and she was a nightmare.

If I went through her room to get something she would flip the fuck out, screaming at me like a banshee and one time I dropped the vacuum, she slapped and spat on me because she thought I did it on purpose One time I dropped her camera and she grabbed me by the neck and screamed at me. She doesn't react to anything normally, she's very childish, petty and is always critical of everything. She would have outbursts and say things that stuck with me for ages, one being "I knew I shouldn't have left Mike (not saying the real name my ex step dad)." "At least I have a degree and I'm intelligent unlike you", and flip the fuck out when I'd talk about moving out (I was 19).

When I got my first job she demanded 60£ each week, this pissed me off because my sister also paid the same every week. It annoyed me even more when I found out she gets £100 a month off of my Dad. So that's £580 a month extra... I'd bring this up to my sister, but she's brain washed and looked disgusted at me as if I was in the wrong for complaining!

Last Christmas she broke my nose, and then tried to say "she didn't mean it and would never do anything to hurt me" ( well you just fucking did and I saw you do it ON PURPOSE). When she "apologised" she tried to say "well you haven't been helping around the house" like that justifies it!? I've spent years thinking I was a troubled bad kid and it was my fault she was like that to me. Now I've realised she's a bitch with no insight and will never change. It's a shame because before she broke my nose we were close and I put everything in the past. Now, if I have kids I'm not going to trust her to take care of them!
